Council decision: Raise No ObjectionDelegated (officer decision)
Proposal
REAR: ONE truncated Leylandii tree (T1)(approx.ht.6m) FELL. Reason: It is not a good specimen and has been heavily reduced at some point in the past. Although retention will help keep green cover it will not be a good long term solution. Removal and replanting will provide a better specimen and help towards green cover in future. Work undertaken to improve light conditions for both owner and neighbouring properties. Owner will replant with a native species.Informative: the proposal to plant a replacement native species tree is greatly welcome for tree canopy, urban greening amenity, environmental and wildlife benefits. Suggested species such as whitebeam, wild service tree, crab apple, cherry plum, hawthorn, hazel, bird cherry, holly, pear, spindle, (also Amelanchier, Prunus autumnalis)
